The Wolfman 
Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro) receiveing a letter from his brothers fiancee Gwen (Emily Blunt), who informs him his brother is missing and she implores him to help with the search. When he gets home he discovers he is too late as his brothers body has been found in a ditch by the road. Stricken with grief, old memory returns of the untimely death of his mother, his father (Anthony Hopkins) does little to console him. He travels to the local village of Blackmore where the locals are rife with tales of the crazy man who is doing the killing, others however feel it is the work of something entirely more sinister.
Gwen asks Lawrence to find out who killed hhis brother and his investigations take him to the nearby gypsy caravan. When he gets there a local mob also arrive intent on taking revenge on the gypsys as they believe they may have something to do with the killings as they started soon after they arrived. Unfortunately for all of them the beast also decnds on the carvan and leaves little left after tearing through the group. Lawrence escapes with his life barely, but after being bittetn finds himself undergoing the transformation into a werewolf on the next full moon. In his quest for answers he discovers that the answers to all his questions may lie closer to home than he may have wanted. With the law closing in on him led by the driven Aberline (Hugo Weaving) time is running out for the Talbot's...
The Wolfman is a throwback to the old school art form of horror school making with more reliance on the natural jumps, double bluffs and scares in a style long forgotten in a CGI age. With more than a passing resembelance to Francis Ford Copolla's take on Bram Stokers Dracula, this is briming with Gothic foreboding. The Wolfman effects are incredible and terrifying at the same time. The gore is kept in check but at the same time doesn't leave much to the imagination as the full horror of the Wolfman's rampage takes place.
The cast are superb with Del Toro leading the way with the troubled Lawrence. Anthony Hopkins is in maleovent form as Sir John Talbot in a perfomance which features some of Lecter simmering away in the background. Emily Blunt shows once again why her star is rising fast and Hugo Weaving is the glue that holds this gothic jigsaw puzzle altogether as the relentless Scotland Yard Inspector Aberline. The cast outshine the effects which is excellent as you are mesmerised by their performances as this modern gothic horror unfolds.
Joe Johnston is once again in his element directing the beasts and controlloing your emotions asyou wonder where the next scare is coming from. Jurassic Park III and Jumanji held him in good stead for this. Overall the old school and even the new school CGI gore hounds should enjoy this at times very scary gothic rollercoaster with ease. At last a remake that does it's original justice by keeping enough of the original while adding the modern film making element in.
It's time to bay at the full moon once more... OOoooowwwww!!!!!
